How do the buckles connect? Are they the type you just push one side into the other and it snaps (plastic), like some backpacks? Is it easy on &amp; off?

The one I purchased is Kurgo Tru-Fit Enhanced Strength Harness 3055 Series. The buckles are all steel nesting buckles (slide in to slot and don't snap). No plastic. Easy once you get used to it; our 5 month old Golden just grew into the second size up so we've been pleased with both.

insert the straps into the buckle in the opposite way that you are doing it. i know it seems counter-intuitive - i had the exact same problem! so basically, you are inserting the strap through the "back" side of the buckle (the extra strap will come out like a tongue through a dragon's teeth). once you do that, when the buckle clamps, it will hold. these are really super rings, easy on the hands and durable (i have had them outside all summer). but they really should include some visual instructions. hope this helps!

I wanted to add to my earlier answer after reading the other answer out there that thought it would be a problem. The buckle is very stout and does not come undone unless the release buttons are both pushed simultaneously. I use this for deer hunting in Wisconsin in the winter, and carry 5-10 lbs in it including ammo, knives, camera, lunch, water, etc. This is the second one of these I've owned and got the second because after 15 years of heavy use, the canvas was starting to rip around one zipper because I stuff too much into it. I can't explain why the other responder indicated the buckle was weak, perhaps they have a different bag?

The waist buckle is plastic. The leg buckles are powder coated metal. Leg buckles are quiet and easy to clip and release. This had been my favorite harness to use thus far.

There are snaps on the top flap, and they snap very strong. You have to give a good, solid tug to release them. Very happy with this item.

I believe it is either attached by another snap or velcro on the other, unseen side. At any rate, the strap can be taken completely off, which I have done with mine. I actually don't use this holster much as I usually carry my gun concealed in different, inside-the-pant type of holster.

Hi Maria,Thanks for your inquiry!The four compression straps which cinch down the bag are double touch quick release, so they won't pop loose at any point. If you want to completely lock these straps into place, I'd recommend a small, lightweight cable lock, to ensure its length can travel across the two top straps.Hope that helps!The Gear Out Here Team

I load my bag fairly full, and NEVER had the strap release. It has metal clasps, which is why I bought it because my other bag had plastic ones and it could not handle the weight. I put a laptop, and iPad as well as paperwork and extra stuff. I love my bag!

Actually neither. They are a very sturdy nylon which is used on high-tech back-backs. Plastic tends to break or at best get brittle after a year or so, and metal tends to rust or scratch things (like your clothing or the finish on your camera and lenses. I've had great luck with nylon buckles hiking many cross country hikes. I have no doubt that the ones on my new Ape Case will prove to be as dependable.

There are two snaps on each side. But they are only in a single row. So they go horizontally they are not vertical. There are rise snap so you can adjust for a smaller or larger babies and there's two settings but three snaps vertically. As to the Velcro versus snaps: for ease of use I always find myself grabbing Velcro first. It just is so much easier to get the perfect fit, and it's just easy. Except you do have to remember to use the laundry tabs when they get yucky so that means when they have poop on them and you want to just put it in your diaper bin you have to remember to fold the tabs and which kind of sucks, and my husband always forgets. Another downside to the Velcro is they really will not last as long as snaps. I have not looked into it but there's a lot of videos on how to supposedly, easily, repair the Velcro. I have repaired elastic on my diapers and it's pretty straightforward so that should be similar. That being said I prefer to buy snaps, with the hopes that they will last longer. On some of our diapers I've noticed even after only two months of use, and using the laundry tabs, that the Velcro just isn't the same. that worries me. With my first child we got by with only snaps and it was just fine. Hope that helps!

Nicole, if I understand your question you're asking if the iPad comes out of the bag easily? The answer is: it can be taken out but not that easily which is a good thing because the case is good protection. If you are asking about the straps yes they come off. I use it that way at home because they get in my way with as much use as I give my iPad. I use the straps when I carry the iPad out of the house. The buckles don't bother me as far as cosmetically or get in my way when the straps are off. I love it and recommend it!

I am somewhat confused by the question....when you roll the bag down there are two buckles that go across the top of the bag, and then there is a buckle on either side of the bag that snaps down....it looks confusing at first, but package it and roll it down, and you'll understand.....we just used it again on a motorcycle trip this weekend and love it

I can totally relate to the 2 yr old MacGyver, but no, mine could not independently get out because the snap is in the back where they can't reach. As long as you have the shoulder straps cinched up adequately then it's pretty wriggle-out proof. =) Hope that helps you!

There are two sets of plastic buckles. The upper set sits on the ridge line of my shoulders close to my neck. The lower set of buckles lie on the flat of my upper back toward the inside of my shoulder blades. The upper set are away from my backpack straps and the lower set are under the bp straps. I think the harness straps could be moved/adjusted inward a bit to avoid the bp straps but I havn't found it necessary to do so. The elastic straps are under the buckle and they cushion the buckle completely for me. For me this is a very comfortable harness and it keeps my eagle optic binoculars secure while hiking.

There are no buckles or other means to remove the strap. When it hangs on my shoulder it is down to my waist. I still have more room to let it out. In other words it is one piece construction. But I don't see why any 2" luggage strap wouldn't work. Just cut the old one off and install the one you want. Good Luck.

There is a video on the sunny heatlt web site , its quite simple you unscrew the screws on the bottom a square sllides ot between the to sides you have to unscrew the knob that is used to tighten and pull out another part pulling upwards after all is off you will see there is a plastic buckle with a lever which is what is used to tighten or loosen , careful not to pull upwards to hard the plastic part can crack, its very similar to the ones used on backpacks , any way lift the lever and pull the belt as hard as you can and then lower it so the little belt doesnt slip back . put eberything back together

The top buckles are completely out of the way, on top of the padded strap. The bottom one I have noticed can be a little bit annoying when carrying all day. The only time I noticed this in the 3 months I've been using it (exclusively in backpack mode) is one day we spent the WHOLE DAY at the zoo, and it was fully loaded with waters & everything, and I may have been carrying it funny because I had the baby in a sling most of the day.
